Even as good as that defense was last year, I also worry about a one year wonder

He inherited some awesome talent. Was it him and his schemes or was it talent INSPITE of him.

What if the reason Denver hasn't approached any other coach is because they're going to hire Austin?

Broncos should be reticent to hire a first year coordinator. He has been a coach on championship teams, but I think that one season as a coordinator is too small a sample size to judge a coach's abilities.

I confess I was ignorant about him on the beginning, but with the possibility of Gase staying as OC and Manning coming back, and considering we'll have Brock as a starter after that, we'll need a stout defense, so our quarterbacks don't find themselves having to win s shootout, and a defensive HC might be money. And the more I read about him, the more I like him.

If he said anything other than it depends on where we are on the field and how far we had to go for the first down, I'd show him the door.

And if he even hesitates, show him the door!

Game is tied up w/ 1 minute to go. Do you go for it on 4th down or punt it.

If you guys were Elway, what would be the first question you ask a coach in an interview?

Mine would be- ok Teryl, you just won the AFCCG, how do you prepare your tea, for the SB? If that doesn't tell Elway what he needs to know bout drive and fire, I don't know what will!
